Fall 2006
Located in the culturally segregated neighborhood of Crown Heights, this multi-function design problem was aimed at understanding a complex past in order to address its current and future potential. Looking to the surrounding urban context, I found inspiration in the unifying visual rhythm of the neighboring brownstones. By reflecting this rhythm at the scale of the building’s program, the intent of the design is to establish a unifying dialogue between community members through its use.
ryan b. lewandowski / academic
A community kitchen and food co-op are the primary programmatic drivers within the design. Through the personal act of cooking and having a meal together, stories and lessons are shared creating a cross-cultural dialogue that brings the different local cultures together. The table for cooking and eating becomes a symbol for this interaction and is carried throughout the rest of the building to facilitate its many other functions.

The semester long project was an investigation of public and private spaces through the experience of the student at the University of Virginia. The building becomes an active interface between the student at study and the student in transit through a dynamic facade created by individualized study spaces.

Anchoring itself on the backside of the psychology building along a popular student shortcut, the building extends through a wooded site that is the backyard for multiple existing university buildings. Viewed as a unique remnant of the natural terrain, the overall site strategy was to connect the student with their surroundings through a series of new paths and visual connections from the elevated study spaces.
ryan b. lewandowski / academic / 2007
Considering the individual study carrel as the most basic unit of the design, I investigated the materials, light qualities, and spatial relationships with the goal of designing a space that can be personalized by manually changing its spatial and light qualities. The carrel serves as a module of space that is expanded to accommodate small group spaces and larger public lounges throughout the building.

Due to the varied terrain across the site, the three main exterior spaces have unique landscape strategies. A wooded lawn on the high ground, boulders on the hillside, and a wetland that maintains an existing daylighted drainage field.

SKETCHES & TRAVELS Copenhagen, Denmark
Fall 2007
During my semester abroad, I partook in two semester long journal courses providing a chance to improve my visual and analytical sketching techniques. With most sessions involving trips through the city, we were taught to analyze our surroundings through mental maps, field measured sections and plans, comparative studies, serial visions, vignettes, and material sketches. This journal became an important means of documenting my semester abroad, including my personal travels to Poland and Germany.

In a small scale residential insertion, this design of a Danish row house investigates the slicing of a private boundary to create a visual transparency while still maintaining a sense of security. This is accomplished by weaving the circulation around translucent vertical planes, which conceal the private spaces in the back.

MASTER PLAN TRAIN + BUS STATION Associate Professor Dean Abernathy w/ Scott Mitchell & Sebastijan Jemec Ollantaytambo, Peru
Spring 2008
Working in collaboration with COPESCO, the World Bank, and the city of Ollantaytambo, our semester studio was the beginning of a multi-year effort towards studying the threats from increased tourism in the Sacred Valley. The ancient town of Ollantaytambo sits at a critical juncture between the bus and rail system for tourists en route to Machu Picchu and faces growing international economic pressures. Our work intended to propose a schematic master plan and new train station that accommodates international interests and local needs while preserving the town’s physical history and cultural ideals. ryan b. lewandowski / academic

During our time in Ollantaytambo, we were challenged with thinking of new ways to document the town and our experience. Along with the traditional means of recording, such as photography and sketches, I took a series of short videos at various points within the town. Focusing on the sounds of traffic, water, music, and talking during the clips, I extracted this information to create a diagrammatic timeline of each video. Inspired by the quipu, a traditional Incan method of record keeping with knots, I created my own with each strand representing the sounds of my experiences.

‘block game’ site studies
Designed in collaboration with Scott Mitchell and Sebasitjan Jemec, we sited the train station down river from the town to establish a new node for commercial activity, alleviating traffic through the sensitive Incan sites. Reminiscent of Incan terracing and the local market vernacular, the station is spatially organized by a series of rammed earth walls and glu-lam structures to create a low impact design that integrates itself into the surrounding landscape. The addition of a wide cathedral like stair running the length of the station becomes a place of interaction and provides an open connection to the neighboring marketplace.

PARAMETRIC RAPID PROTOTYPING Associate Professor Earl Mark
Spring 2008
The intent of this course was to learn the underlying principles of parametric modeling. A cardboard lamp shade project created by a mathematically derived surface inspired my final project, a study of visual focal points of transparency within a wall structure. By creating a point of influence, the wall structure can shift its directionality while maintaining a set form.

In a summer long design/build project with former classmate Sebastijan Jemec, the concept of transparency is used to display both the structure of the design and the international technology used to create the exhibited Rome Reborn project. Given two weeks for construction, the booth was fabricated offsite and brought in for installation, requiring that it be modular, light weight, and of efficient construction methods. ryan b. lewandowski / professional

This project will add four new elevators to the outdated Tisch Hospital to improve the flow and quality of experience for patients and visitors. Sited in the central courtyard of the complex, the elevator cabs will include windows that provide a view of the city and river during the ride. My role involved doing a series of facade studies during the concept design phase. Working one on one with a design associate, we discussed the idea of a pixilated pattern of glass that responded to a need for increased shading at the top. From here I investigated panel sizes/ratios and surface patterns through creating elevation drawings, 3D renderings, and elevator cab animations so that each aspect of overall identity and user experience was fully considered.

Aural Garden New York, New York
Fall 2010
Home to the outdoor music area and animated by visualizations from animators and filmmakers, the Aural Garden featured an architectural installation designed and built by Ryan Lewandowski, Daria Supp, and Lili Trenkova. One of the new programs at the 5th annual Last Supper Festival, the canopy installation defines a new and more intimate, yet open space within the canyon-like alley of the outdoor area at the 3rd Ward. The black-lit 3000ft of cotton string weaves a net-like surface that shifts in form and definition as the perspective changes. While basing itself off the hyperbolic surface that is created with the spandex shapes suspended above, this fluctuation creates an energy in the space that plays with the music and dance atmosphere, creating a synthesis of the mediums and demonstrating the transformative effects of architecture.

Photography Home to the outdoor music area and animated by visualizations from animators and filmmakers, the Aural Garden featured an architectural installation designed and built by Ryan Lewandowski, Daria Supp, and Lili Trenkova. One of the new programs at the 5th annual Last Supper Festival, the canopy installation defines a new and more intimate, yet open space within the canyon-like alley of the outdoor area at the 3rd Ward. The black-lit 3000ft of cotton string weaves a net-like surface that shifts in form and definition as the perspective changes. While basing itself off the hyperbolic surface that is created with the spandex shapes suspended above, this fluctuation creates an energy in the space that plays with the music and dance atmosphere, creating a synthesis of the mediums and demonstrating the transformative effects of architecture. ryan b. lewandowski / personal
